Account and Billing

Plans and limits

Updated 141 views

HiBill has a free tier that is free forever. Pro adds storage and AI — receipt scans and sentence reads — and raises a few very high caps. No feature is gated.

HiBill pricing: Free at $0 and Pro at $4.99 a month

What every plan includes

Every plan, Free included, comes with:

  • People — as many real people as you want, and up to 2,000 placeholders

  • Transactions — unlimited

  • Groups — up to 200, with unlimited members

  • Currencies — all 38

  • All split methods — including itemized and open splits

  • Debt simplification

  • Comments, attachments and public share links

  • Notifications — in-app

  • The full transaction form — never limited, and never uses an AI read

There is no per-seat pricing and no group plan. The people you split with never need to pay for anything.

What's metered

AI and storage have a real cost to us, so they scale with the plan. Pressing Read sends a new or changed sentence to AI and uses one monthly AI sentence read; working out who had what on an itemized bill you share uses one more. Each receipt you mark as a Bill and read with Read uses one receipt scan.

Scan and read counts reset at the start of each calendar month. A sentence read that fails to come back with an answer isn't counted.

Billing on the Free plan: this month's receipt scans, AI sentence reads and storage, with the Pro plan below

Two totals are capped too, well above everyday use: placeholder people (2,000 on Free, 20,000 on Pro) and groups (200 on Free, 2,000 on Pro). Transactions are unlimited on every plan.

Which plan do I need?

Free is genuinely enough for most people. Fifty sentence reads a month covers everyday splitting, and five scans covers the bills where scanning wins — the long restaurant receipt, the big supermarket run. Every feature is available.

Pro makes sense if you add many transactions by sentence (more than about 50 a month), scan receipts habitually rather than occasionally, or attach a lot of photos.

Running out of scans or reads

When the sentence reads run out, the sentence field says "No AI reads left this month" and offers Open the form, which opens the form with your sentence as the title. When the monthly scans are gone, a receipt can't be read as a bill until the count resets — the field says "No scans left this month" and the photo is saved as a plain attachment. Everything else keeps working, and you can always enter a transaction in the form.

Running out of storage

You cannot upload new attachments until you free space or upgrade. Existing transactions and attachments are unaffected — nothing is deleted.

Remove old attachments from the transactions they are on to free space. Upgrade and billing in Settings shows how much you are using.

Changing plans

Upgrade or downgrade at any time; there is no annual lock-in. See managing your subscription for how billing, cancellation and refunds work.

If you downgrade while over the new storage limit, nothing is deleted — you simply cannot add new files until you are back under it.
